SPaG - Year 5 Relative Clause A relative clause is a special type of subordinate clause which adds extra information to another noun or clause. A relative clause uses a relative pronoun such as; ‘who’, ‘that’ or ‘which’.

The extra information is embedded in a sentence with commas.

James, who never does his homework, is very lazy.

All the chocolate pudding was gone by the time I got to lunch, which really annoyed me.

Modal Verbs Modal verbs change or affect other verbs in a sentence.

They are used to show the level of possibility – certain, possible or impossible.

My keys must be in the house.

Modal verbs also talk about ability, to ask permission, make requests or offers.

May I ask a question?

Could I have some Cohesive devices tea, please?

Verb Prefixes

Relative Pronoun Relative Pronouns (who, which, where, that, when) introduce a relative clause. They refer back to a noun or clause what we already know.

The athlete, who won the race, trained hard.

Where did you buy the jumper that you wore yesterday?

Suffixes To convert a noun or adjective, a letter or group of letters can be added to the end of a noun to make a verb.

-ate = assasinate -ise = authorise -ify = classify

Brackets Brackets are used to add extra information in a text. Curved brackets are most commonly used in a clause.

Mrs Jones (my teacher) works in Year 5.

A letter or group of letters can be added to the beginning of a verb to make a new word with a slightly different meaning. dis- (this reverses the verb meaning) disconnect de- (means ‘do the opposite’) deselect mis- (means ‘badly’) mislead over- (means ‘too much’) oversleep re- (means ‘again’ or ‘back’) revisit

Parenthesis We use parenthesis to add extra detail to a clause which is already grammatically correct. We may use brackets, dashes or commas to separate the information within the main clause.

Commas Commas are used to embed a clause (a group of words that include a subject and verb) within a main clause.

The comma is used before the embedded clause and immediately after.

Michael, who sits next to me, is brilliant at Art.

SPaG - Year 6 Synonym A synonym is a word or phrase with the same or similar meaning to another.

You can find synonyms in a thesaurus.

Talk = speak = mention sleep = doze = kip

Antonym An antonym is a word or phrase with the opposite meaning. young – old straight – bendy full – empty

Bullet Points Bullet points can be used to break up complicated information, make the text easier to read or turn it into a list. A colon must be used before a list.

I need to buy: • mushrooms • toothpaste • popcorn

Colon A colon is used to tell the reader ‘this is what I mean’ or ‘as follows’ and indicates the information following it.

I ordered the following ingredients (and they are): eggs, butter and flour.

Would simply be written as, I ordered the following ingredients: eggs, butter and flour.

Punctuation Marks Punctuation marks are important because they give writing flow. They also help to change how the reader understands the writing.

Cohesive devices A text which has cohesion fits logically together. A writer may use repetition of word or phrase, adverbials or ellipsis to build on writing.

The day was fun, fun, fun.

Semi-colon A semi-colon joins two independent clauses without using a conjunction such as ‘and’.

We can go to the library in the morning; Mondays are usually quiet.

A semi-colon may be used in a list to divide the items where commas are already used to avoid ambiguity.

I have been to Birmingham, England; Paris, France; New York, USA; and Moscow, Russia.

Formal and Informal Language Formal language uses unabbreviated words and an appropriate choice of vocabulary and grammar whereas informal language uses relative clauses with no relative pronouns and contractions. It is important to select the correct language for writing. find out – discover ask for – request go in – enter

Subject The subject is the person, noun phrase, pronoun or thing which does the verb in a clause.

Wednesday is my favourite day.

Sam’s mum is picking me up today.

Are you coming to the sleepover?

Object The object is the person, noun, pronoun or thing which usually comes directly after the verb.

Wednesday is my favourite day.

Sam’s mum is picking me up today.

Are you coming to the sleepover?

HISTORY The Romans The first Romans lived in Italy nearly 3000 years ago. They founded the city of Rome in 753 BC and, over the centuries, conquered many lands to create a huge empire.

Julius Caesar Invades in 55 BC and 54 BC The Roman General Julius Caesar made two attempts to conquer Britain.

He wanted to add the rich land to the Roman Empire and punish the Celts for helping his enemies. His legions weren’t able to overcome the Celts in 55 BC or 54 BC, but some leaders did pay tributes (a tax) so the Romans would leave. This meant the Celts could continue to live as they were.

Emperor Claudius Conquers Britain in AD 43 In AD 43, Emperor Claudius launched a third attack on Britain. He sent a powerful and well-organised army of around 40,000 men (that landed in southern England) to conquer the Celtic tribes. This time, much of Britain (or Britannia as the Romans called it) did become another province of Rome.

Boudicca Rebels in AD 60/61 The Romans seized the land and wealth of the Iceni tribe after King Prasutagus died. Queen Boudicca objected and she led a rebellion against the Romans. At first, her army was very successful but in the Battle of Watling Street, the Roman army finally defeated Boudicca and the Celts. Many people were killed in the rebellion Hadrian’s Wall in AD 122 In AD 122, Emperor Hadrian gave an order to build a wall in the north of the country. Roman legions had tried to conquer Caledonia (Scotland), but the Picts would not give up their lands and they also raided land that the Romans controlled.

Hadrian’s Wall took around six years to build and it was 73 miles long. Around 15,000 troops lived at Hadrian’s Wall so they could defend this northern border of the Roman Empire.

Key Vocabulary Aqueduct – A manmade channel used for delivering water to Roman towns Barbarian – A term used used by the Romans to refer to people who lived outside the Roman Empire Century – A division of the Roman army made up of 80 soldiers and led by a centurion Consul – The highest position in the Roman government Emperor – The leader of an empire Gladiator – A person who fought for the entertainment of Roman audiences Legion – The main unit of the Roman army Senate – A group of prestigious men who advised the consuls.
